{"product_id":"tiger-shovelnose","title":"Tiger Shovelnose","description":"\u003cp\u003eTiger Shovelnose  is a fascinating freshwater fish that aquarists have been interested in for a long time. They are one of our favorite large fish to keep because of their unique appearance!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe waters of South America are home to the pseudoplatystoma fasciatum, or tiger shovelnose catfish. They are usually found in the deepest parts of big rivers, where they can move around freely and find food (mostly other fish).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fish usually prefer areas with a little more shade. There will frequently be a lot of vegetation present in these waters, and finding them in overflowed woodlands consequently too is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tiger shovelnose navigates the murky waters it inhabits with its barbels. This enables them to comprehend not only their destination but also the location of their prey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fish are prized by local fishermen for their size and flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI.

They are able to consume prey and, if necessary, skim the riverbed thanks to this excellent design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a tank, a tiger shovelnose catfish has rather long barbels that protrude slightly forward from the front of their mouth. These assist them in finding their way through choppy waters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese fish's dorsal fins are average in size and have a shape resembling a shell. Tiger shovelnose catfish have black spots on their forked caudal fins. Their pectoral and anal fins share a similar pattern and are on the smaller side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir body is a dark silver color with large black stripes that usually run vertically from front to back. Because these fish are also spotted, you will frequently observe spots in various locations in between the stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIII.
